Known as «Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo», who during and after
the military regime were daily demonstrating there about the fate of their
missing children and relatives. Certainly during the military regime
they were a very courageous group, inspiring similar movements elsewhere
in the world.

The Madres de la Plaza de Mayo movement is a women's Argentine movement that aims at finding our what happened to the people that disappeared during the years of military dictatorship in the country and at sending the people responsible for the disappearings to the justice.

The headkerchief is the symbol of the group because
the mothers have worn it during their meetings in the
Plaza de Mayo. It was first used in a meeting in Luján
in 1977 as a way to recognize themselves in the crowd.
Then it became their symbol.

The flag is marine blue with a [drawing of a] white cloth folded and tied in order to cover the head. There is a white border all around the flag. There are
words in white characters too over the marine blue background. [See a photo].

The white words in the flag are the name of the group
above the headkerchief: Asociación Madres de Plaza de
Mayo that means Association of May-Square Mothers, and
the expression and motto of the group that is "¡Ni un
paso atrás!" that means "Not even a step backwards!"
